A mixture of an Arabian fable with roses, citrus fruits, ouds, horses and riders. The beginning is a bit rough and fecal but it is worth waiting for the endless extra-dry base, elegant and never dull or sweet.Great in winter.
I do not overly love the rose but this is of quality like the rest and this makes it universally versatile. Can stand on the western shelves between Bois D ‘Ascese, Noir de Noir, Dzing, Lutens,Tauer… quietly.Like a weapon.
The most versatile real oud I’ve ever smelled.
All this with less than a quarter of a drop on my wrist.
Infinity. more time passes and more improves. I have had a weekend of included showers and the one that will spray us the following days will have a subterranean oud and ambergris!
Special!

This oil blend is my all-time favorite. It is royalty, sexy, power and elegance all blended in to one bottle. Royal Blend can be worn anywhere to any type of event, for any occasion. Work or play. Great for year-round wear. This one will get you compliments as well as a good amount of positive attraction.
Longevity is 10+ hours and will last a few days on your clothes. Sillage is amazing and people will notice.
Signature scent worthy.
Applying two or three drops and rubbing it into your hands, arms neck and hair, it will last a long time; which is great because that means the bottle will last you quite a while.

This scent is deep and fresh at the same time, moderate opening notes of camphor or menthol, subtle woods, and an oud note that is not at all fecal. A very fine and impressive perfume. I personally cannot carry this off, but I would love to smell it on a man.

This oil blend by Saudi Arabian brand Abdul Samal Al Qurashi is probably one of the *easiest* to like in their middle / upper range of offerings. It opens with the usual blast of rose / citrus supported by a light yet quite remarkable oud note. It initially feels dense and very concentrated, almost cacophonic, but once is settles down, it unfolds an incredibly versatile blend of earthy / woody notes supported by light rosey facets and spicy undertones. Distant echoes of vanilla serve to round up things a little bit while the fragrance still feels remarkably woody and dry.
So, it’s earthy, it’s woody and it’s spicy but, at the same time, it’s smooth and extremely easy to like. Both rose and vanilla (two notes that I generally avoid), are handled with restraint and serve more like refinements than main players. The vanilla is probably the least sweet I ever tried (no gourmandic facets whatsoever) while the rose is enhanced in its light / clean aspect to provide a little *air* to a generally claustrophobic theme. It takes a while for the top notes to settle down and allow the fragrance to expresss its actual nature but, once you get through Royal Blend’s tremendous evolution, you’ll be amazed by its endless woody/musky dry down.
Now, while it probably doesn’t explore new grounds in middle-eastern perfumery, Royal Blend is still able to stand out for its effortless perfection and versatility. People who generally dig popular arabian-themed fragrances such as ByKilian, Tom Ford and the likes, should seriously ponder this one to check at least the difference between an arabic-themed fragrance and an actual arabic blend. Bleieve me, it helps a lot to put a bunch of things in perspective…
